Stamford security officer helps nab burglar privateofficer.com

STAMFORD CT Dec 7 2016 — A burglar who was chased
from a downtown building Saturday night might be responsible for several other
office break-ins, police said.

The guard of a Washington Boulevard building stopped
the burglary about 9:15 p.m. Saturday and gave a description of the suspect to
police.

Officer Dan Kokkoros apprehended the man a short
time later at the corner of Washington Boulevard and West Broad Street. The
security guard identified the man as the burglar, Capt. Richard Conklin said.

Robert Butler, 57, has been charged with
third-degree burglary. He was also charged with possession of burglary tools
for the flat-tipped screwdriver and chisel he was carrying, Conklin said.

Conklin said police suspect Butler, who he says has
an extensive record for burglaries and break-ins, is also responsible for other
break-ins in a Summer Street office building two weeks ago.
